in While we’re on the topic of Jang
seeders, does anyone have any experience with the double disc opener compared to
the standard shoe? As I try to incorporate more cover cropping and less tillage
into my operation, dealing with higher residue levels is becoming a challenge –
I’d be interested in hearing other people’s ideas and experiences. Happy New Year, Rob Songberry Organic Farm 24 Sixth Line, facebook: "Songberry Organic

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of We've used this for radishes when we are doing cherry belle and french
breakfast types where high density beds work very well. It also seemed to work
will with carrots, allowing us to do high density plantings followed by a burn
weeding pass a couple days later (I would not suggest doing this is you are
going to hand weed beds). If you do not have double row seed wheels you
will need to purchase them adding another 20.00 per wheel, so you may be
looking at even more additional costs. We have also used it to limited effect with our micro
lettuce/mizuna/arugula/swiss chard beds and seems to work well but I think they
best route to go is a five or six row seeder for these, which are expensive but
a massive time saver when you do the math (Time (number of beds) x (passes) x
(rotation plantings) x (years)). It works and works well. We have not had any issues with it, but
after a year of using it I have not crunched the numbers to see if it is worth
the 140.00 we spent (shoe and three wheels), but I think it did. We
harvested nearly a quarter ton of radishes this year which represent a whole
lot of passes with the seeder. You may also want to try Columbus Irrigation in Carriage House Farm An (513) 967-1106 |
